The bad news came for the Lakers. LeBron James will miss the match against the Phoenix Suns in which his team has one of the last chances for a possible passage to the playoffs.
James is averaging 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists this year.
One of the best players of all time has big problems with an ankle injury, which is why he could not even play in the duel against the Denver Nuggets. To make matters worse for the team from Los Angeles, the performance of Anthony Davis is also in question.
The Lakers are currently in 11th place in the West with 31 wins and 47 losses, while San Antonio is currently closest to them in the playoffs, as it has two wins more and two fewer defeats.
In the event that the team from Los Angeles loses against the best team in the regular season, and San Antonio defeats the Nuggets, the Lakers would also lose the theoretical chance to reach the playoffs.
